THIRTY-THIRD YEAR.
BIG SALE OF REAL
ESTATE LAST FRIDAY
John De Young Farm of 1000
Acres Divided and Sold.
j
Price Averages $83 Per Acre for
Entire Tract--Large Attendance
and Everybody Happy--May Be
Forerunner of Other Like Events.
Probably no event in the real estate
line hereabouts has attracted so much
attention hs the sale last Friday of the
John De Young farm of 1000 acres near
Thornton. The land was divided into
14 tracts and sold at public auction to
the highest bidder. There was a larjie
attendance at the sale, coming, appar
ently, from the four corners of the com
pass. They came on foot, on horseback,
in carriages and wagons, by automobile,
and the crowd was cosmopolitan and in
the best of humor. As the cavalcade
stretched out going from one tract to
another it had the appearance of circus
day, such was the extent of the move
ment. Probably 200 people attended
the sale, there being two or more score
of vehicles in line.
The Hale of each piece of land took
place on the land itself, the boundaries
beiug plainly marked by plowed furrows
or monuments, and ranged from 10
acres in extent to one large tract of 320
acres. The last named contained the
De Young homestead proper, where rests
a comfortable farm house, two barns, a
family orchard, and the usual improve
ments going with a well regulated home
to be seen in the Palouee. Every foot
of the land sold is tillable, no richer soil,
no more beautiful pastoral scene being
found inithej Inland Empire. The day
was perfect.
At the noonj,hour lunch was served at
the De Young house on the 320-acre
tract, people beiDg seen for hours pre
vious roaming over the broad domain,
examining the rich soil and enjoying the
quiet loveliness of nature spread out on
every side. After lunch the cavalcade
started, the sale commencirg on the 10
acre tracts and continuing until the last
tract was sold, which was after 5 o'clock-
Following is the result of the sale in full:
Tract No. 1, George W. Larue, Colfax,
GO acreß,ls()s per acre.
No. 2. 1. 11. Baker, Thornton, 108
acres, $72 per acre.
No. 8, C. F. Beusel, Colfax, IH7 acres,
$71 50 per acre.
No. i, S. Y. Evans, Calgary, Alberta,
320 acres, $101 per acre.
No. 5, E. B. Hughes, Thornton, 36
acres, £101 50 per acre.
No G, C. F. Bensel, Colfax, 132 acreß,
$09 per acre.
No. T.BHen D. White, Colfax, 47 acres,
$70 per acre.
No. 8, Z. 0. Shugert, Thornton, 55
acres, $TG per acre.
No. 9, B. Y. Evans, Calgary, Alberta,
29 acres, $77 50 per acre.
No 10, Ben 1). White, Colfax, 14 acres,
fB2 per acre.
No. 11, T. O. Watson, Thornton, 10
acres, $95 per acre.
No. 12, H. I). Hughes, Thornton, 10
acres, $90 50 per acre.
No. 13. H. L). Hughes, Thornton, 10
acres, $91 per acre.
No. 14, H. 1). Hughes, Thornton, 10
acres, $95 50 per acre.
This makes an average of $83 per i
acre for the 1000 acres embraced in the !
farm. It shows the average value of i
land in the Palout-e and what it will
bring under the hammer. George W. i
Larue & Co , who had charge of the sale,
are reasonably satisfied with the result,
"the average coming up to their expecta
tions. Thin sale may lead to other large
estates being divided and sold in the
same inauner. If not, why not.

A Reprehensible Practice.
Complaint is made by autoists that
young boys frequently make the attempt
to catch on and ride behind as a machine
is going up or down Main street, and
that some day some one will make a
miscalculation and be pulled under the
wheels. The outcome can only be con
jectured, but it may be fatal. It stands
parents in hand to talk to their boys,
and warn them from the practice com
plained of. Parents are the proper per
sons to do this, not the newspaper, but
parents frequently need prodding in re
gard to duties to children. An ounce of
prevention costs less than the expenses
of a funeral.
Crosses the Dark River.
Mrs. T. B. Matioek died at her home
in Pullman Tuesday morning and was
buried at Steptoe yesterday. She was
about 40 years old and is survived by
her husband and two children. Mrs.
Matlock was the daughter of Mathias
► Swegle, one of the pioneers of Whitman
county. Claude Swegle, deputy county
clerk, is a nephew.

National Bank of Spokane, the Spokane |
Electric Co., general stores at Colfax and
St. John in this county and owning

The couple were married in 1883 at
Mexico, Missouri, and have 10 children.
i Plaintiff asks $3500 attorney fees, $500
j a month temporary alimony and $2000 j
' suit money. Mrs. Huntley charges her
husband with cruel treatment, says he
! never accompanies her to public places,
treats the children with lack of warmth [
! and is stiney in providing her with '
'■ money. She further states that they

Whitman county and living on a farm,
she working long hours to get a start.

i League was celebrated in the M. E.

ing and C. H. S. emblems and pennants,
presenting an attractive picture. Many
diversions were provided for the guests
and toothsome refreshments were served.

Is Citizen of the United States.
Rev. J. Herbert Bainton was made a
full fledged citizen of the United States in
the superior court this week, renouncing
allegiance as a British subject. It is
gratifying to note when men of the high
standing and scholarly attainments of
Mr. Bainton become citizens of this
country, their presence being for the
betterment as well as the uplifting and
upbuilding of the country. Mr. Bainton
has been a resident of Colfax for eight
years, coming from Vancouver, B. C.

OPERATION AS OF YORE
J. R. Good & Co. Factory More
Solid Than Ever.
Planers, Cut-Off Saws and Thou
sand and One Mechanical Won
ders Used in an Establishment of
This Kind Is in Position.
The factory of J. R. Good Jfc Co. is
nearing completion, and presents a for
midable as well as a business like ap
pearance. As most readers know the
plant, buildings and material connected
with the establishment was completely
wrecked or carried away by the unprec
edented flood of last March, entailing
the loss of a large sum of money and
putting the firm out of business for the
time being. Out of the ruins, however,
a new structure has arisen, better, more
roomy and proof against high water of
any kind that is ever likely to come
again.
The first floor stands four feet above
the sidewalk, reached by steps. To the
right as one enters a room is partitioned
off for the office. The rest of the first
floor is devoted to machinery of all
kinds, consisting of planers, cut-off saws
and the thousand and one mechanical
wonders used in an establishment of this
kind. Ascending a flight of stairs to the
second story a large room is presented,
82x100 feet, full of machinery of all
kinds, which will soon be the seat of in
dustry. The entire building is well light
ed, the ceilings are high, presenting a
neat and roomy appearance.
Many new pieces of machinery are ob
eervable, but much of the old machinery
is in place again, the flood waters bury
ing most of it in the debris, not being
able to carry it great distances, as was
the case with the abundance of light ma
terial that went gliding where the wood
bine twineth.
The framework of the large structure
is heavy, covered with corrugated iron
Good & Co. are better prepared than
ever to attend to all finishing work, of
which they have been the principal job
bers in theee paits for years. Whatever
else may beiide them thc'y are certainly
flood proof this time. The hum of in
dustry in their plnnt will soon be heard
and it will be a welcome sound.
British Columbia Lands.
Charles A. Hunt, local representative
for the North Coast Land Co., Vancou
ver, B. C , has secured quarters in the
office of G. W. Larue & Co. and is offer
ing for sale choice agricultural lands in
Central British Columbia, close to the
coming metropolis of Fort George on the
Fraser river, where the climate is the
mildest in Canada. People are flocking
to the country by scores. There has
been inaugurated recently an automobile
service from Anhcroft to Soda Creek, a
distance of 125 miles, and from the lat
ter place Bteamboats run daily to Fort
George.
Students Without Discipline.
When students at a college resolve
themselves into mob either the students
must be suppressed or the college should
close shop. A large number of the 6tu
dents at the State College at Pullman
have disgraced themselves by their riot
ous actions commenced last week and
continued at other times since. They
should be summarily dealt with, and
that without gloves. If the head of the
college is not equal to the occasion be
should be succeeded by a man with the
nerve to act.
Wedding Anniversary Celebration.
The quarter century wedding anniver
